Uninstalling Logic Pro 9

I have installed Logic Pro 9 and all the updates on my macbook but it really struggles to run and is way too complicated for me so I want to remove it and sell it.

Problem is, I can't find a way to completely remove it from my macbook.
I have found instructions dotted around but they all seem to damage garageband which I don't want to do

Can anybody tell me how to completely remove Logic Pro 9 without damaging any other apps

Cheers

Macbook Black, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

You can deinstall it entirely and then just reinstall GarageBand from the original disk that came with your Mac.

Your GarageBand songs will remain unaffected by the process - though, as always, if you don't keep a meticulous back up of ALL your data at ALL times, the joke's on you if the disk fails or something else goes catastrophically wrong during the process.
